Meh, I think it's fine to be honest about weaknesses for that question. It might disqualify you from some jobs, but IMO there's a lot of value in demonstrating

Meh, I think it's fine to be honest about weaknesses for that question. It might disqualify you from some jobs, but IMO there's a lot of value in demonstrating you're able to self reflect. I have a hard time staying enthusiastic about a project I don't understand the value of, for example. It makes me a bad candidate for teams that are siloed and jobs that highly compartmentalized, and I want to make sure the teams I'm working on have the tools they need to get value to the customer. It would suck if I took a job like that, and my theory is by stating that out loud I can avoid roles that have those kinds of environments.
